Update entry templates 

To update an entry template, send a replacement Atom document containing the modified entry template to the edit link for the existing entry template.

All existing entry template information will be replaced with the new data. To avoid deleting existing data, retrieve any data that you want to retain first, and send it back with this request. See Retrieve entry templates for more information.

See Authenticating requests for information about how to authenticate the request.

Input

Perform one of the following action:

• If you want to update the entry template only (and not the icon associated with it), provide a revised entry template Atom document.

• If you want to update both the entry template and icon, send a multipart put request that includes a revised entry template Atom document and the new or changed icon graphic file.

• To change only the icon associated with the entry template, send a multipart put request that includes the same version of the entry template Atom document and the new or changed icon graphic file.
  

If you change the icon associated with the entry template, all of the existing entries that were created using the template are updated to display the new icon.
